Looped cables can heat-up Keep them straight down the center of the bore when possible. Cable touching patient at two points Don’t let cable touch patient, it can cause a burn. Patient touching sides of bore RF burns can result. Place a pad between patient and bore. Do surface coils need to be plugged in when scanning with the body coil? Yes! An example of what can happen if large metal objects are brought into the scan room. * Patient studies utilizing magnetic resonance diagnostic devices which are conducted under any one of the following operating conditions are considered significant risk investigations, and require approval of an investigational device exemption (IDE) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH): 1. Main static magnetic field greater than 4 tesla; 2. Specific absorption rate (SAR) greater than 8. a. 4 W/kg averaged over the whole body for any period of 15 minutes; 8. b. 3 W/kg averaged over the head for any period of 10 minutes; or 8. c. 8 W/kg in any gram of tissue in the head or torso, or 12 W/kg in any gram of tissue in the extremities, for any period of 5 minutes; 3. Time rate of change of gradient fields (dB/dt) sufficient to produce severe discomfort or painful nerve stimulation; or 4. Peak unweighted sound pressure level greater than 140 dB or A-weighted r.m.s. sound pressure level greater than 99 dBA with hearing protection in place. MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING AND ACOUSTIC NOISE The acoustic noise produced during MRI represents a potential risk to patients. Acoustic noise is associated with the activation and deactivation of electrical current that induces vibrations of the gradient coils. This repetitive sound is enhanced by higher-gradient duty cycles and sharper pulse transitions. Thus acoustic noise is likely to increase with decreases in section thicknesses and decreased fields of view, repetition times, and echo times. Gradi
